A classic mixture of fine leaf tobacco with exotic aromas.

The combination of exotic aromas and alternative thinking has led to this fine product being characterized as "a true delight."

One of the first tobaccos that I liked. However smoking it now produces nothing but a hint of the taste I thought I liked and then a dreadful tongue sensation of spiced fire. Not like "good" spicy, but just flaming hot acrid evilness.
I am swaying between "Not recommended" and "Somewhat recommended" here... Oh well, It'll get Somewhat Recommended since it was the tobacco that got me into this for real.
Tastes a little bit like caramel before it goes away and is replaced by the tongue "bite". (although I've never had Real tonguebite that lasts for days, this is pretty close)

Had to buy this from the very excellent Dan Pipe online shop in Germany. You can't buy this is the U.K - well at least the outlets I know of anyway.
I'd liked the other Larsen blends I had tried - Classic, Signature, Old-Fashioned (also non available in the U.K). I like this one as well ; it's not quite as tasty as the aforementioned but not bad at all.
It's one of those solid enough blends, nothing outstanding, but great when you haven't got a clue what tobacco you want.

This offering from Larsen is an interesting one, Quite complex in it's makeup off flavors. Tin aroma is rich & chocolate like with a wiff of spice & latakia. On lighting up the latakia is very much to the fore, however this settles down to reveal a rich fruit cake like taste and aroma. The devil with this tobacco is as allways with aromatics the tongue bite. Even with a slow pace & frequent tamping it is difficult to tame. I would not recomend smoking this tobacco outdoors it, is best smoked in a nice quiet room with normal ventilation as it also has a tendency to burn hot & moist. Having said that, I guess this is one that may reward the more patient smokers out there.

This is not a bad tobacco. It probably just wants to be something more that it can not be. I don't mind smoking it but it leaves little impression, and the next time I go tobacco shopping I do not look for it again.
